List of Star Trek characters (G–M)

This article lists characters of Star Trek that received attention from third-party sources in their various canonical incarnations. This includes fictional major characters and fictional minor characters created for Star Trek, fictional characters not originally created for Star Trek, and real-life persons appearing in a fictional manner, such as holodeck recreations.

A Borg drone liberated from the collective. Originally designated Third of Five by the Borg, he is named Hugh by Geordi LaForge after requesting a name. After finding him injured on a planet, Dr. Crusher convinces the Enterprise crew to bring him to the ship for medical treatment. They plan to use him to transmit a computer virus to the Borg, but after he develops a sense of individuality, they decide that is unethical. He develops a friendship with Geordi, who explains to him why he values individuality, and ultimately the prospect of Geordi's assimilation causes Hugh to stop identifying with the Borg. He chooses to return to the collective so that the Enterprise will not be found by the Borg, but disseminates his individuality throughout the Borg ship he returns to, causing chaos. The ship is found by Lore, who reinstates order by becoming a dictator. He grossly abuses his power, and Hugh becomes the leader of the resistance movement against him. When members of the Enterprise crew find him, he expresses anger that they allowed him to return to the collective after becoming an individual, since they must have known it would lead to chaos.

Legendary Klingon warrior and Dahar Master whose exploits assured him a place in the Hall of Heroes, as told in G'Trok's poem "The Fall of Kang", an epic so important it is required reading at Starfleet Academy. Commander Kang once faced James Kirk in 2269, but later joined him to defeat their true enemy, an energy life form living off their shared hatred when trapped aboard the Enterprise as undying fodder. Captain Kang later squared off against Captain Sulu's USS Excelsior during the tensions preceding the Khitomer Conference in 2293. Kang had already met Curzon Dax by then on the Klingon colony Korvat, when Dax intentionally angered Kang to foster a bond—a calculated risk as he walked out during a long diatribe by the shocked Klingon. The Trill envoy became such a trusted family friend that Kang's firstborn, a boy, was made his godson and named "Dax" in his honor. The boy, of course, was among those later killed in revenge by the marauding Albino and fostered a blood oath of revenge in turn among Kor, Koloth, and Dax that was finally carried out in 2370 and led to Dahar Master Kang's death as he struck the death blow on his enemy. He also had defeated T'nag and his army with only colleagues Kor and Koloth, according to Kor's tale in 2372, and later feasted on the leader's heart.

Klingon captain of the IKS Pagh in 2365. He was short, heavyset, and demanded strict adherence to his authority. When he learned of the space organism eating away at a small section of the Pagh '​s hull, and that the Enterprise-D had directed an intense scanning beam at that specific area for two minutes, Kargan believed the Federation starship had landed a first strike against his vessel, so he vowed to attack and destroy the Enterprise-D. He suspected that Commander William Riker, his acting first officer, was complicit in the Enterprise-D's attack, so, to test his loyalty, Kargan demanded to know the surest method of attack against the Federation starship. When Riker refused to break his oath to Starfleet, Kargan relented, knowing at least that Riker wasn't a traitor or a coward. When Riker activated an emergency transponder given to him by Worf, Kargan, believing it was a weapon, demanded that Riker give it to him. Kargan was then beamed aboard the Enterprise-D, and Riker was able to assume command of the Pagh and defuse the brewing battle. Later, when Kargan was returned to the Pagh, Riker refused to resume his station, so Kargan slugged him and ordered him removed from the ship. That action allowed Kargan to save face and regain honor in the eyes of his officers, and likely averted an assassination attempt by Lieutenant Klag.

In 1930, during the first part of Earth's 20th Century, Keeler was a social worker who died in a street accident. Centuries later, during a survey of the Guardian of Forever by the USS Enterprise, the ship's Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Leonard McCoy, during a temporary bout of mental illness brought on by an accidental injection of cordrazine, escaped into Earth's past. While there, he saved Keeler from dying, which sparked a chain of events throughout the timeline, essentially changing history. In the altered timeline, Keeler, a passionate believer in peace, spearheaded a movement which delayed the entry of the United States into World War II, thus paving the way for an Axis victory. Subsequently, Starfleet, the Federation, and the USS Enterprise were no longer in existence, but the proximity to the Guardian of Forever by the landing party allowed Captain James T. Kirk and First Officer Spock to follow McCoy into the past. Kirk and Spock were able to prevent McCoy from saving Keeler's life, thus restoring the timeline. These events were particularly stressful for Kirk, as he had fallen in love with Keeler.

Klingon ambassador who accompanied the Enterprise-D to the planet Krios in 2367 to investigate Klingon Governor Vagh's claim that Starfleet was supplying weapons to Kriosian rebels. Kell was colluding with the Romulans to disrupt the alliance between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. The Romulans had "conditioned" Geordi La Forge to receive E-band transmissions through his VISOR. Kell carried the transmitter that instructed La Forge to kill Governor Vagh, but the attempt failed. Kell was taken into custody by Vagh.

Young Klingon captain of a Bird-of-Prey. He is also the gunner, as the tactical scope is mounted above his command chair and lowers like a periscope when he wants to fire the ship's disruptors. He is bored with shooting space garbage, such as Earth's Pioneer 10 probe, and longs for a bigger challenge to make a name for himself. When he learns that the Enterprise-A and Captain James T. Kirk are headed to Nimbus III, he arranges to intercept them. Klaa shoots at but misses the Enterprise, which suddenly engages warp speed. He follows her to Sha Ka Ree and this time scores a hit. He orders the Enterprise to surrender, but General Koord calls him off and forces him to rescue Kirk from the surface of Sha Ka Ree. At a "cocktail party" aboard the Enterprise, he salutes Kirk as a fellow warrior. One of Klaa's more memorable features, besides his muscles, is his wild "shock rock" hair.[original research?] Noncanon: In the movie novelization, Klaa's Bird-of-Prey is called Okrona.

Klingon lieutenant and second officer of the IKS Pagh in 2365. He challenged Commander William Riker's authority over him as first officer of the Pagh during an officer-exchange program. After Riker beat him up, Klag agreed to take his orders and even respected the commander for his strength. Klag's father had once been captured in battle by Romulans, but not allowed to die. He eventually escaped, and now lives on Qo'noS, honorless, waiting for death by natural causes. For that reason, Klag refuses to see him. When Captain Kargan suspected that Riker was complicit in the Enterprise-D's "attack" on the Pagh, Klag disagreed and defended the commander.[3]

He commanded the Klingon warship that stalked the Enterprise through the Tellun Star System. After Kryton had sabotaged the Enterprise '​s warp engines, the Klingon demanded that Kirk surrender unconditionally and immediately.

Klingon chancellor and supreme commander who oversaw Worf's discommendation. Later poisoned by Duras and succeeded by Gowron. In his time, K'mpec served as leader of the Klingon Empire longer than anyone previously.

Klingon commander of a K't'inga-class battle cruiser that was patrolling the area of the Romulan Neutral Zone in 2364, seeking the whereabouts of the IKS T'Acog. When he learned that the criminals Korris, Konmel, and Kunivas had been rescued by the Enterprise-D, he plotted an intercept course and demanded that Captain Jean-Luc Picard turn them over when he arrived. By that time, however, all three Klingons had died from injuries or during escape attempts. (Script Note: Picard mistakenly called K'near "captain" in one instance.)[4]

Governor of Tarsus IV, also known as "the Executioner", who engaged in a large-scale eugenics program to counter the impending threat of starvation to the colony; later assumed the role of actor Anton Karidian leading a traveling Shakespeare company called the "Karidian Players".

Klingon commander of a generational starship of the D7 class, leader of a group of Klingons who were searching for the kuva'magh, or "savior" of Klingon culture. Kohlar and his followers are found to be infected with the Klingon nehret retrovirus disease by Voyager '​s holographic Doctor, which is cured with DNA from B'Elanna Torres's unborn daughter Miral Paris.

One of two Ferengi stranded in the Delta Quadrant after attempting to secure the Barzan wormhole for themselves. Crash-landing on the Takaran homeworld, they insinuated themselves to be the Holy Sages prophesied by the Takaran "Song of the Sages" to exploit the Takarans for profit.

Klingon captain who faced Kirk twice over tribbles; later, as Dahar Master, he swore a blood oath with Kor, Kang, and Curzon Dax to kill the Albino. Koloth was killed during the assault on the Albino's fortress. James Doohan voiced the character in the animated episode.

Klingon lieutenant who, with Korris and Kunivas, left the Klingon Defense Force to pursue a life in which he could live like a "true Klingon". In 2364, the trio stole the Talarian freighter Batris and subsequently destroyed the IKS T'Acog, which had been sent to retrieve them. After being rescued by the Enterprise-D, Korris and Konmel lied to Captain Jean-Luc Picard about the battle, but later revealed their true intentions to Lieutenant (j.g.) Worf. By then, Klingon commander K'near had apprised Picard of the Klingons' criminal status, so Picard detained them in the brig. They escaped, but Konmel was killed in a firefight with Enterprise-D security. To his credit, though, it took three phaser shots to bring him down.

Romulan commander and former instructor of military history at the Romulan Intelligence Academy. His main theme consisted of theories on the differences between the military and the Tal Shiar. He believed that military officers must trust one another to function. (The dialogue was unclear, but Konsab may have been Commander Toreth's father. She described him as an "idealistic old man" and a "devoted citizen who only tried to speak his mind". The Tal Shiar dragged him from his home in the middle of the night, and Toreth never saw him again.)

The first Klingon to appear in Star Trek, as an antagonist to Kirk. Commander Kor briefly ruled the planet Organia as its military governor. A few years later, Captain Kor's ship, the IKS Klothos, was lost in the Delta Triangle, but later escaped with help from the Enterprise. John Colicos reprised the role in three Deep Space Nine episodes, as an ally and friend of Jadzia and Ezri Dax. Dahar Master Kor was killed in glorious battle by acting as a decoy to hold off the Jem'Hadar while the rest of the Klingon fleet escapes ("Once More Unto the Breach"). James Doohan voiced the character in the animated episode.

Klingon first officer of the IKS Gro'th under Captain Koloth. He instigates the bar fight on Deep Space Station K-7 by taunting Montgomery Scott, first calling Captain Kirk a "tin-plated dictator with delusions of godhood", then calling the Enterprise a "sagging old rust bucket that's designed like a garbage scow". However, when he says that the Enterprise should be hauled away as garbage, Scotty throws the first punch.

A fat Klingon general who fell out of favor with the High Command and ended up serving in the dishonorable role of Klingon consul to the "Planet of Galactic Peace", Nimbus III. In his younger, leaner days, Korrd was such a notable soldier that his military strategies were required reading at Starfleet Academy. On Nimbus III, he and his Federation and Romulan counterparts, St. John Talbot and Caithlin Dar, were taken hostage by Sybok's "Galactic Army of Light." Later, Spock convinced Korrd to use his authority and order Captain Klaa to destroy the alien creature on Sha Ka Ree and transport Captain Kirk to safety.

Klingon captain who, with Konmel and Kunivas, left the Klingon Defense Force to pursue a life in which he could live like a "true Klingon". In 2364, the trio stole the Talarian freighter Batris and subsequently destroyed the IKS T'Acog, which had been sent to retrieve them. After being rescued by the Enterprise-D, Korris and Konmel lied to Captain Jean-Luc Picard about the battle, but later revealed their true intentions to Lieutenant (j.g.) Worf. By then, Klingon commander K'near had apprised Picard of the Klingons' criminal status, so Picard detained them in the brig. They escaped, but Konmel was killed in the process. Korris fled to Main Engineering and held a makeshift phaser to the warp core, demanding to speak to Worf. His attempt to sway Worf to his cause failed, however, and Worf shot him dead.[5]

Romulan chairman of the Tal Shiar in 2375. He had not been elevated to the Continuing Committee of the Romulan People, which is normally accorded to a person in his position, because of his opposition to the Romulan alliance with the Federation, which was supported by a majority on the committee. He was rumored to be ill with Tuvan syndrome, which may have been another reason why he had not been elevated to the Continuing Committee. Secretly, Koval had been providing critical military intelligence to the Federation for more than a year. He was Vice Admiral William J. Ross's guarantee that the Romulans would not make a deal with the Dominion.

A Klingon agent who was sent to negotiate mining rights to the rare mineral topaline on Capella IV. He threw in his lot with Maab, a Capellan warrior who soon led a coup against the High Teer, Akaar, and became the new leader of the Ten Tribes of Capella. After following Maab's war party into the mountains in pursuit of Kirk, Spock, McCoy, and Eleen, the widow of Akaar, Kras captured Eleen with a Starfleet hand phaser to force her to prove that she had killed the Enterprise landing party. Maab drew out Kras by making himself a target. When Kras vaporized Maab, another Capellan warrior, Keel, killed Kras with a kligat.[6]

A Klingon agent who was sent to the planet Neural to upset the balance of power between the Villagers and the Hill People. He did this by supplying the Villagers with flintlocks, and every so often, he would return to provide "improvements" to Apella, leader of the Villagers. Krell also dispensed advice to Apella on how to deal with special situations, such as which Villager should be given a captured woman of the Hill People. With such teachings, Krell promised Apella a governorship in the Klingon Empire. When Kirk and McCoy discovered the flintlock "factory", Krell got himself punched out by the Enterprise captain and was heard from no more.

Klingon commander of a Bird-of-Prey. His crew address him as "my lord", as do his ill-fated lover, Valkris, and Lt. Saavik. He receives a stolen summary of Project Genesis from Valkris and decides to act for the preservation of his race. He goes to the Genesis planet to learn the secret of the Genesis torpedo and secure for himself the "ultimate power". His gunner accidentally destroys the Federation science Starship Grissom, but Torg finds survivors on the surface. When the Enterprise arrives and scores a successful hit on Kruge's ship, he accepts Admiral Kirk's hail and threatens to execute one of the "hostages" on Genesis. That hostage ends up being Kirk's son, David Marcus, and in retribution, Kirk destroys the Enterprise while the bulk of Kruge's crew is aboard, intending to commandeer the starship. Later, Kirk and Kruge fight to the death on Genesis while the planet burns around them. Kruge loses.

Klingon captain of the IKS T'Ong, a K't'inga-class battle cruiser that was dispatched before 2290, when the Federation and the Klingon Empire were still exchanging hostilities. K'Temoc's mission was so crucial to the Klingon High Command that he and his crew were placed in cryogenic sleep for more than 75 years. In 2365, the Klingon High Command received an automated message from the T'Ong stating that it was returning home and was about to reach its "awakening point". K'Temoc had been given standing orders to fire on all Federation ships, which he carried out on encountering the Enterprise-D. However, he was tricked into lowering his shields and yielding command of the T'Ong to "Captain" Worf and "Commander" K'Ehleyr, who convinced K'Temoc that the "war" was over.

Younger brother of Worf and also a son of Mogh who was not on Khitomer when the Klingon colony was destroyed by the Romulans. Years later, as a member of the Klingon Defense Force, Commander Kurn participated in an officer-exchange program with Starfleet that landed him aboard the USS Enterprise-D and reunited him with Worf ("Sins of the Father"). More than a year later, Captain Kurn commands his own K'Vort-class bird-of-prey and sides with Gowron during the Klingon Civil War ("Redemption II"). More than four years later, a ruined Kurn appears on Starbase Deep Space 9 ("The Sons of Mogh") and asks Worf to kill him to restore his honor, which, along with his seat on the Klingon High Council and the House of Mogh's most valuable possessions, were stripped from him because Worf fought against Gowron during the chancellor's takeover of Cardassia Prime ("The Way of the Warrior").

Klingon officer who, with Korris and Konmel, left the Klingon Defense Force to pursue a life in which he could live like a "true Klingon." In 2364, the trio stole the Talarian freighter Batris and subsequently destroyed the IKS T'Acog, which had been sent to retrieve them. Kunivas was critically injured in the battle and later died in the Enterprise-D sickbay.

Vulcan minister on the Vulcan High Command in 2154. He opposed the radicalism of Administrator V'Las and eventually shot (stunned) him to stop a space battle between the Vulcan and Andorian militaries.

Starfleet captain and mother of Geordi La Forge. She commanded the USS Hera (NCC-62006), which disappeared without a trace. The life forms of Moriginy VII use her appearance to communicate with Geordi, who helps return them to the atmosphere where they live.

Klingon captain who supports the House of Duras's claim to the chancellorship during the Klingon Civil War of 2367–2368. Although he and Captain Kurn fight on opposite sides, they drink together in the First City on Qo'noS after battle.

Ensign and flight controller aboard the Enterprise-D. He is Canadian by heritage. He tests for the operations manager (ops) position on the Bridge, but believes that his friend, Ensign Sito Jaxa, is more qualified. After Sito is suddenly killed during a secret mission, Lavelle is promoted to lieutenant junior grade and wins the assignment to ops.

Lieutenant Leslie wears many hats aboard the Enterprise, from security officer to relief helmsman to manning the bridge engineering station. Although he was killed in the second season episode "Obsession", he was apparently revived, and went on to appear in several subsequent episodes.

Starfleet officer who was killed during a transporter malfunction while beaming up to the Enterprise. Commander Sonak died in the same accident.

Noncanon:(?) In the TMP novelization by Gene Roddenberry, Ciana was a vice admiral and part of Commanding Admiral Nogura's inner staff. Her assignment was as xenopsychologist to nonhuman species in Starfleet Command, and she also served as Nogura's personal representative to the "new human" groups on Earth. She was a last-minute addition to the Enterprise crew, which needed an officer trained in her xenopsychiatric specialty. Her death was a terrific blow to James T. Kirk, with whom she had lived for one year after the Enterprise '​s five-year mission.

Tholian commander who catches the Enterprise "trespassing in a territorial annex of the Tholian Assembly", where the USS Defiant (NCC-1764) disappeared into an area of spatial interphase. Loskene agrees to wait for 1 hour and 53 minutes while the Enterprise effects rescue operations. However, when that time elapses, he attacks the Enterprise and later joins with another Tholian ship to create an "energy web" around the Federation starship.

A Founder disguised as a Romulan Tal Shiar colonel in 2371. He was in command of Enabran Tain's flagship Warbird. When the Obsidian Order and the Tal Shiar began their attack on the Founders' homeworld, Lovok gave Odo and Elim Garak access to their Runabout to escape, because "no changeling has ever harmed another". He offered Odo the chance to go with him and become one with the Great Link, but Odo declined. Lovok was beamed away by a Jem'Hadar transporter.

A Satarran operative who effected mass-amnesia against the Enterprise-D crew, infiltrated the ship and posed as first officer. His objective was to use the starship's powerful weapons to attack his people's enemy, the Lysian Alliance, and completely destroy them. His plan is foiled when Worf refuses to fire the killing blow against the Lysians' Central Command station.

Starfleet officer and scientist who had opposed Data's entry into Starfleet on the grounds that Data "is not alive"; later tried and failed to have Data assigned to him for dis-assembly and research then started receiving self-evaluation reports from Data (cf. "Data's Day")

Klingon officer who remains aboard his Bird-of-Prey while Commander Kruge beams down to the Genesis planet to wrest its secrets from Admiral Kirk. Maltz beams up the rest of the former Enterprise '​s crew while Kirk and Kruge fight to the death. Kirk, victorious, tricks Maltz into beaming him (and Spock) aboard before the Genesis planet destroys itself. Kirk enters the Bridge and takes Maltz prisoner at phaser-point, promising to "kill" him later for not piloting the Bird-of-Prey away from Genesis. Maltz may have been Kruge's tactical officer, as he counted down the kellicams before the Bird-of-Prey came within firing range of the Enterprise.

Klingon science officer and wife of Kang. She is evacuated from his wrecked ship to the Enterprise and fears for how all Klingon survivors will be treated at Federation hands. Her concerns seem to be well-founded when Ensign Chekov takes out her bodyguard and then begins assaulting her. Kirk and Spock rescue her, and then show her firsthand evidence of the alien "entity" that has invaded the Enterprise and pitted Starfleet officers and Klingons against each other. She explains to Kirk that her people are hunters because there are poor planets in the Klingon system, and they must push outward to survive. She brokers a meeting between Kang and Kirk, which eventually leads to a truce. With "good spirits" from both parties, the alien entity flees the Enterprise.

Xenologist dedicated to the study of the Crystalline Entity. After the entity destroyed all life on the Omicron Theta science colony, including her son, in 2338 she became obsessed. When the Enterprise-D encountered the entity in the episode Silicon Avatar in the year 2368 she shattered it with high intensity energy waves.

Martine first appears in "Balance of Terror" as a fire control specialist. Her wedding to Lieutenant Robert Tomlinson is postponed when the Enterprise receives a distress call from outposts being attacked by Romulans. The character later appears in "Shore Leave" as part of the landing party, and the communications officer in "Turnabout Intruder".

One-time captain of Miles O'Brien aboard the USS Rutledge, then captain of the USS Phoenix who attempts an un-authorized mission to expose Cardassian military activity masquerading as scientific research

Romulanadmiral who commands two Warbirds. His flagship, the IRW Devoras, "rescues" Subcommander Selok after her long masquerade within the Federation as Vulcan ambassador T'Pel. When Picard pursues the matter of T'Pel's "death" in a transporter accident, Mendak menacingly warns him to drop it before another "accident" happens.

Starfleet commodore assigned to Starbase 11. Although he wears a gold tunic, he is never explicitly identified as base commander. However, it's possible he may be the head of Starbase Operations. He certified Kirk to read the "eyes only" Starfleet Command account of the first Earth ship (the Enterprise) to visit Talos IV, which spawned General Order 7 and forbade any further contact with the planet and its inhabitants – on penalty of death. When Spock steals the Enterprise and heads for the Talos Star Group, Kirk and Mendez pursue in the ShuttlecraftPicasso … except that Mendez really isn't there at all, or later aboard the Enterprise during the court-martial of Spock. In reality, it was the Keeper of Talos IV who created the illusion of Mendez, while the real commodore remained behind on Starbase 11. In the end, the "real" Mendez suspends General Order 7 on that occasion, thus saving the lives of everyone aboard the Enterprise.

Romulan science officer who was working on a new "interphase generator" when a serious accident crippled his ship. The Enterprise-D responds to his distress signal and assists in constructing a new engine core for the Romulan ship, but Mirok plans on destroying the Enterprise with a muon feedback wave because Data stumbles onto his interphase experiment.

Starfleetlieutenant commander and ship's navigator. He and James T. Kirk have been friends since he joined the service, and Kirk asked for Mitchell aboard his first command. At Starfleet Academy, he remembers "Lieutenant" Kirk as being "a stack of books with legs," and that "in his class, you either think or sink." Mitchell also "aimed a little blonde lab technician" at Kirk, who almost married her. Later, on the planet Dimorus, Mitchell almost died from a poisoned dart thrown by "rodent things" who were aiming for Kirk. In 2265 aboard the Enterprise, Mitchell is "zapped" by the Galactic Barrier, which turns his eyes glowing silver and grants him enhanced ESP powers. As he grows stronger, he becomes a danger to the ship and crew, so Kirk is forced to maroon him on the planet Delta Vega. Mitchell doesn't go quietly, however, and Kirk is forced to kill him on the planet's surface.

Father of Worf and Kurn. Accused by Duras of betraying the Klingon colony on Khitomer to the Romulans, when the betrayal was committed by Duras' father, Ja'rod. Worf nevertheless accepted discommendation for his father's "crime" to prevent a Klingon civil war.

Klingon officer and one of three members of a covert strike force conducting surveillance of the Romulan delegation to StarbaseDeep Space Nine in 2371. After Morka is caught and detained in the brig, he promises that his family will kill Odo for treating him so dishonorably.

Starfleet admiral who was designated the "Starfleet Commander" in 2285. He boarded the Enterprise for inspection on her return to Spacedock. He awarded Starfleet's highest commendations to the entire crew for their extraordinary service during the battle with Khan. He also promoted Scotty to "captain of engineering" and reassigned him to the USS Excelsior NX-2000. In addition, he announced that the Enterprise would be decommissioned, thereby denying Kirk the opportunity to take her back to the Genesis planet. Later, when Kirk pressed the issue and explained that Spock's katra must be reunited with his body, Morrow cautioned him against "intellectual chaos" and implored him to remain rational, lest he lose everything and destroy himself. (Noncanon: In the movie novelization, Morrow's first name is "Harry".)

Cardassian doctor, cured the Fostossa virus by experimenting on Bajorans. When B'Elanna Torres was invaded by a cytoplasmic lifeform, the Voyager EMH was assisted by a holographic reproduction of Dr. Moset, and the procedure was a success. But because Maquis crewmembers objected to Dr. Moset, the EMH decided to delete the program.

Romulan vice proconsul of the Imperial Senate until 2369. He had questioned the repressive activities of the government and was in danger of being imprisoned. He and his two top aides were willing to risk defecting to the Federation to protest Romulan policy and support the dissident movement on Romulus. They were placed in stasis, smuggled aboard the IRW Khazara and secretly transported onto the Enterprise-D. M'ret's defection was deemed a profound blow to Romulus.

A red-uniformed Starfleetlieutenant commander with a Ph.D. in astrobiology. Mulhall has the distinction of being the highest-ranking female Starfleet officer in TOS. Sargon makes her part of the landing party to his planet, and she later hosts the mind of Sargon's wife, Thalassa, for creating android bodies into which Sargon, Thalassa and Henoch will transfer their consciousnesses.

^Script Note: Klag said, "A Klingon is his work, not his family. That is the way of things." This is untrue; in fact, it's rather the reverse, as the third-season episode "Sins of the Father" will begin to illustrate. A Klingon's house/family is basic to his or her very existence. Without one, he or she is nothing.

^Set Note: K'nera spoke from a private, darkened area of his ship that was unique because it bore the Great Seal of the United Federation of Planets and the Klingon trefoil symbol. This one-time-only display implied that the Federation/Klingon alliance was much more than a simple "mutual defense" pact or the like. It also explained why Klingons like Korris, Konmel, and Kunivas felt that their birthright had been traded away for peace, and also spoke to Q's offhand comment in "Hide and Q" that the Federation had "defeated" the Klingons.

^Script Note: Picard mistakenly called Korris "commander" in one instance.

^Production Notes: Although the name "Kras" comes from the shooting script, the character is never referred to as anything other than "Klingon". In addition, Kras was the first "white skinned" Klingon to appear, as opposed to the traditionally dark complexions sported by Kor and Kang.
